ASD Football Club Matese

Sport in the modern era in Piedimonte Matese (known until 1970 as Piedimonte d'Alife) traces its roots back to Pro Piedimonte, a multi-sports club founded in 1928. In addition to football, other sports such as; running and tug of war; were also practised. The club's first President (chairman) was Erminio Tedesco. Pro Piedimonte was in existence for at least 40 years.[4]

F.C. Matese's first-ever league fixture saw them face Olympia Agnonese away from home on 27 September 2020. The visitors got off to a flying start when Portuguese forward Leonardo Abreu scored to break the deadlock after six minutes. Corrado Urbano's side commanded a three-goal lead before the half-hour mark, scoring twice in the space of two minutes, with a goal from Italian forward Antonio Negro, before Leo Abreu volleyed home his second to make it 0–3 at half-time. Italian midfielder; Manél Minicucci netted F.C. Matese's fourth after 78 minutes to claim the club's first-ever win in Serie D.[7] Following the club's comprehensive 0–4 away victory over Olympia Agnonese, F.C. Matese would lose their next two matches against Atletico Terme Fiuggi (2–3); and Montegiorgio Calcio (2–0), respectively. After a two-game losing streak, the club managed a 0–0 draw with Aprilia. Corrado Urbano's side then suffered a succession of defeats, losing 4–0 away to Città di Campobasso, 1–3 at home to Castelfidardo, 1–2 at home versus Castelnuovo Vomano, and 3–1 away to Cynthialbalonga. F.C. Matese returned to winning ways, with a first home victory and only their second of the season, coming in a 3–0 win over Vastese at Stadio Pasqualino Ferrante, thus bringing an end to their four-game losing streak. However, the team's winning run lasted just one match, as F.C. Matese fell to a 3–1 away defeat against Notaresco. After their first ten matches, F.C. Matese had recorded a mere two wins, one draw and six defeats, giving them just 7 points, leaving them sitting in the bottom half of the table. However, a change in fortunes; saw the club approach the midway point of the season in a steady position with 18 points, following three successive wins, two draws and one defeat taking their tally to five wins, three draws and eight losses for the season. F.C. Matese built upon their mid-season form, managing a 0–0 home draw against Rieti, a second win over Olympia Agnonese, and its first victory against Atletico Terme Fiuggi.

In its inaugural season (2020–21), under the management of Corrado Urbano, F.C. Matese recorded a fifth-place finish in the league, amassing 56 points after 34 games, leaving them tied on points with two other teams; third-placed Pineto and fourth-placed Cynthialbalonga. It meant that F.C. Matese had qualified for the Serie D promotion play-offs. However, as all three sides had finished on the same number of points, the play-off matches were decided on "Head-to-head", with Pineto scoring 6, Cynthialbalonga 5, and Matese 4. Consequently, F.C. Matese were drawn, against second-placed team Notaresco, with the match being played on 23 June 2021 at Notaresco's Stadio Comunale Vincenzo Savini.[8] After trailing 1–0 at half-time, courtesy of a goal from Notaresco midfielder Mattia Frulla in the 21st-minute, the Matesini; were reduced to ten men, after defender Luigi Setola's sending off for a second yellow card with just under 20 minutes left to play of normal-time.[9] F.C. Matese lost the semi-final 1–0, sending Notaresco; through to the play-off final against eventual winners Pineto.[10]
